Code of Courtly Love

-Attraction to the other person.

-Know that you are now secondary. Their needs come before your own.

-Lovesick, can't get them out of your mind? A good sign you love them.

-Friendship and camaraderie. Have fun with them, and make sure they have fun with you.

-Be sure that they are the object of your devotion, nothing less. Do not engage with false feelings, and do not lead them on. Never lie to them.

-When ready, confess your feelings. Pray that they reciprocate.

-If they do not reciprocate your feelings, respect their wishes, even if it's not what you want. If you truly cared, what you want would not matter. They should be all that matters.

-Be theirs, because they are not yours. Exist for them, because they do not exist for you. Cherish every moment.

-Make them happy, by whatever means necessary. If they frown, be the one to turn it upside down. Make every day better for them than the last.

-Look in their eyes like they're your favorite tv show, hold their hand, hug them like a life preserver. Make sure they know how much you love them, and never let them forget it every day you're with them.
